How Is This Solved..?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Range : { -5,1,7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the values in the domain and substitute into the equation

x = -3

y = -2(-3) +1 = 6+1 =7

x = 0

y = -2(0) +1 = 0+1 =1

x = 3

y = -2(3) +1 = -6+1 =-5

The range is the y values

We put then in order from smallest to largest

Range : { -5,1,7}

Find the graph of the inequality y<-1/5X+1.

Answers

Answer:

Please refer to attached image for the graph of inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality:

[tex]y<-\dfrac{1}{5}x+1[/tex]

To graph this, first let us convert it to corresponding equality.

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x+1[/tex]

As we can see that the above equation is a linear equation in two variables so it will be a straight line.

Now, let us find at least two points on the above equation so that we can plot them and then extend it to get the complete graph.

Two points that can be easily found, are:

1st put [tex]x = 0[/tex] , [tex]y=-\frac{1}{5}\times 0+1 =1[/tex]

So one point is (0, 1 )

Now, put y = 0,  

[tex]0=-\frac{1}{5}\times x+1\\\Rightarrow 1=\frac{1}{5}\times x\\\Rightarrow x = 5[/tex]

Second point is (5, 0)

Let us plot the points on the graph and extend the straight line.

Now, we know that it is an inequality, the are will be shaded.

As there is no equal to sign in the inequality, so the line will be dashed.

Let us consider one point and check whether that satisfies the inequality or not.

If the point is satisfied in the inequality, we will shade that area towards the point.

Let us consider the point (0, 0).

0 < 0 +1

Point is satisfied.

How many gallons of 30% alcohol solution and how many of 60% alcohol solution must be mixed to produce 18 gallons of 50% solution?

Answers

Answer:

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = liters of 30% alcohol

y = liters of 60% alcohol

There are two unknowns, we need two equations

x + y = 18. (1)

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y) (2)

From (1)

x + y = 18

y = 18-x

Substitute the value of y into (2) and solve for x:

0.30x + 0.60y = 0.50(x+y)

0.30x + 0.60(18-x) = 0.50(x+18-x)

0.30x + 10.8 - 0.60x = 0.50(18)

10.8 - 0.30x = 9

-0.30x = -1.8

Divide both sides by -0.30

x = 6 gallons (of 30% alcohol)

Substitute x=6 into (1) and solve for y:

x + y = 18

6 + y = 18

y = 12 gallons (of 60% alcohol)

A study was conducted on students from a particular high school over the last 8 years. The following information was found regarding standardized tests used for college admitance. Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with a mean of 982 and a standard deviation of 198. Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 19.6 and a standard deviation of 4.5. It is assumed that the two tests measure the same aptitude, but use different scales.If a student gets an SAT score that is the 20-percentile, find the actual SAT score.SAT score =What would be the equivalent ACT score for this student?ACT score =If a student gets an SAT score of 1437, find the equivalent ACT score.ACT score =

Answers

Answer:

Actual SAT Score = 815.284

Equivalent ACT Score = 15.811

The equivalent ACT Score = 29.95

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Scores on the SAT test are normally distributed with :

Mean = 982

Standard deviation = 198

If a student gets an SAT score that is the 20-percentile

Then ;

P(Z ≤ z ) = 0.20

From the standard z-score for percentile distribution.

z = -0.842

Therefore, the actual SAT Score can be computed as follows:

Actual SAT score = Mean + (z score × Standard deviation)

Actual SAT score =  982 +  (- 0.842 × 198)

Actual SAT score = 982 + ( - 166.716)

Actual SAT score =  982  - 166.716

Actual SAT Score = 815.284

Scores on the ACT test are normally distributed with a mean of 19.6 and a standard deviation of 4.5.

Mean = 19.6

Standard deviation = 4.5

Equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 +  (- 0.842 × 4.5)

Equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 +  ( - 3.789)

Equivalent ACT Score = 15.811

If a student gets an SAT score of 1437, find the equivalent ACT score.

So , if the SAT Score = 1437

Then , using the z formula , we can determine the equivalent ACT Score

[tex]z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{1437 - 982}{198}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{455}{198}[/tex]

z =2.30

The equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 + (2.30 × 4.5)

The equivalent ACT Score = 19.6 +  10.35

The equivalent ACT Score = 29.95

a number has 2,5 and 7 as its prime factors. what are the four smallest values it and take​

Answers

Answer:

  70, 140, 280, 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, it must have the factors 2, 5, 7 as a minimum, so the smallest value is 2×5×7 = 70.

Any of these primes can be added to the product. In increasing order, the smallest additional factors will be 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, ...

So, the four smallest numbers with prime factors of 2, 5, and 7 are ...

  70 = 2·5·7

  140 = 2²·5·7

  280 = 2³·5·7

  350 = 2·5²·7

which of these is an example of a discrete random variable? A. Time worked on a job B. Weight of a child C. First digit of a phone number D. Length of a fish

Answers

A discrete random variable has a countable number of possible values. In this case I am pretty sure it is either none of the above or maybe the phone one.

Discrete random variables are simply countable, which should be a finite number and it should not change continuously. So, Time worked on a job is the discrete random variable among the four options.          

Discrete random variable:

A random variable is said to be discrete if an experiment gives a finite number that is countable and should not change continuously.

Here, Time worked on a job has a fixed time for a job has to be done. So, it is a discrete random variable.

Some more examples of Discrete random variables are:

No. of girls in a family,

No. of outcomes of the head when two coins are flipped.

No. of defective street lights out of 100 bulbs in a certain area.

No. of the possible outcome of getting 4 when a dice is thrown twice.

Wrong answers with explanation:

The weight of a child changes as the child grows. So, it cannot be a discrete random variable.

The first digit of a phone number also changes for each and every person, whenever a person changes his /her number automatically will get a new number and it will have a different digit. So, it cannot be a discrete random variable.

The length of fish also varies according to the different sizes of fish. So, it cannot be a discrete random variable.

1) Complete the table
2) find the mean of the random variable x. Use the formula in the photo

Answers

Answer:

a. Please check the explanation for filling of the empty column on the table

b. The mean of the random variable x is 7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Firstly, we are concerned with completing the table.

To do this, we simply need to multiply the values in the column of x by the values in the column of p(x)

Thus, we have the following;

2. 3 * 2/36 = 6/36

3. 4 * 3/36 = 12/36

4. 5 * 4/36 = 20/36

5. 6 * 5/36 = 30/36

6. 7 * 6/36 = 42/36

7. 8 * 5/36 = 40/36

8. 9 * 4/36 = 36/36

9. 10 * 3/36 = 30/36

10. 11 * 2/36 = 22/36

11. 12 * 1/36 = 12/36

b. We want to find the mean of the random variable x.

All what we need to do here is add all the values of x•P(x) together, then divide by 11.

Thus, we have

(2/36 + 6/36 + 12/36 + 20/36 + 30/36 + 42/36 + 40/36 + 36/36 + 30/36 + 22/36 + 12/36)/11

Since the denominator is same for all, we simply add all the numerators together;

(252/36) * 11 = 252/396 = 63/99 = 7/11

Which of the following functions has a vertical asymptote at x = 2, a horizontal
asymptote at f(x) = 1, and a root at x = -1?
A.f(x) = 2 + 1
B.f(x) = x 2 + 1
c.f(x) = x 2 - 1
D.f(x) == +1

Answers

Answer:

First, an asymptote means that the function "tends to go" to a value, bt actually never reaches it.

The functions here are:

A.f(x) = 2 + 1

B.f(x) = x^2 + 1

c.f(x) = x^2 - 1

D.f(x) == +1

The functions are really poorly written, but i will try to answer this.

first:

"a root at x = -1"

Means that f(-1) = 0,

The only function that is zero when x = -1, is the option c.

f(-1) = (-1)^2 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0.

Now, if we want to have a vertical asymptote at x = 2, then we should have a function like:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x - 2}[/tex]

So we want to have a quotient, where the denominator is equal to zero when x = 2, this will lead to a vertical asymptote.

I can not see this in the options provided, so i guess that the functions are just not well written.

For a horizontal asymptote, we have something like:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x} + 1[/tex]

So as x starts to grow, the first term in the function will start to decrease, until it becomes really close to zero (but is never equal to zero) so in that case we have an horizontal asymptote to f(x) = 1.

Option C. P = 3/q

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, do the following:

Let us assume a certain number for P say 2 and 3, and then, find the corresponding value for q in each case to see which will give a decreased value for q.

Option A

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3q

2 = 3q

Divide both side by 3

q = 2/3

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3q

3 = 3q

Divide both side 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option B

When P = 2, q =.?

P – 3 = q

2 – 3 = q

q = – 1

When P = 3, q =.?

P – 3 = q

3 – 3 = q

q = 0

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option C

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3/q

2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

2 × q = 3

Divide both side by 2

q = 3/2

q = 1.5

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3/q

3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

3 × q = 3

Divide both side by 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q decreases.

Option D.

When P = 2, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 2 × 3

q = 6

When P = 3, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 3 × 3

q = 9

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Now, haven done the above, only option C gives a decreased value for q as the value of P increases.

The value representing one standard deviation  to the right of the mean is 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided data set is:

Compute the mean and standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\mu=\frac{1}{n}\sum X=\frac{1}{5}\times [56+54+45+52+48]=51\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum (X-\mu)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\cdot {(56-51)^{2}+...+(48-51)^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\times 80}=4[/tex]

Compute the value representing one standard deviation  to the right of the mean as follows:

[tex]X=\mu+1\cdot \sigma[/tex]

    [tex]=51+(1\times 4)\\=51+4\\=55[/tex]

Thus, the value representing one standard deviation  to the right of the mean is 55.

Convert the cotangent to cosine over sine:

[tex]\frac{\cos(x-\frac{\pi}{2} )}{\sin(x-\frac{\pi}{2})} =-\tan(x)[/tex]

Use the cofunction identities. The cofunction identities are:

[tex]\sin(x)=\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)\\\cos(x)=\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)[/tex]

To convert this, factor out a negative one from the cosine and sine.

[tex]\frac{\cos(-(\frac{\pi}{2}-x ))}{\sin(-(\frac{\pi}{2}-x))} =-\tan(x)[/tex]

Recall that since cosine is an even function, we can remove the negative. Since sine is an odd function, we can move the negative outside:

[tex]\frac{\cos((\frac{\pi}{2}-x ))}{-\sin((\frac{\pi}{2}-x))} =-\tan(x)\\-\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} =-\tan(x)\\-\tan(x)\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-\tan(x)[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{696}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 174.0[/tex]

Hence, the estimated number of students is 174

What is 25x + 67y if x = 23 and y = 36. Give explanation please! ​

Answers

Answer:

2987.

Step-by-step explanation:

25(23) + 67(36) = 575 + 2412 = 2987.

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: 2987

First we need to rewrite the equation. Since x = 23 and y = 36 the equation should look like this for easier steps:

25(23) + 67(36) = ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now since there numbers by other numbers in parentheses, we need to multiply them.

25 x 23 = 575.

67 x 36 = 2412.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that the equation is in its final form, we write it like this for the answer:

575 + 2412 =

2987.

help please! Darren is finding the equation in the form y = m x + b for a trend line that passes through the points (2, 18) and (–3, 8). Which value should he use as b in his equation? a) –34 b) –19 c) 2 d) 14

Answers

Answer:  d) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d):

[tex](y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)[/tex]

Equation of a line passing through (2, 18) and (–3, 8):

[tex](y-18)=\dfrac{8-18}{-3-2}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=\dfrac{-10}{-5}(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-18)=2(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-18=2x-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x-4+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2x+14[/tex]

Comparing resulting equation [tex]y=2x+14[/tex] to [tex]y = m x + b[/tex], we get value of b= 14.

Hence, correct option is d) 14

The average weight of the top 5 fish caught at a fishing tournament was 12.3 pounds. Some of the weights of the fish are shown in the table.

What was the weight of the heaviest fish?

Answers

Answer:

14.6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The average weight of the top 5 fish caught at a fishing tournament was 12.3 pounds. From the attached figure, the weight of 5 fish are given. We need to find the weight of Wayne S. fish.

Average = sum of terms/no of terms

Let the weight of Wayne S. is x. So,

Here the sum of terms is x+12.8+12.6+11.8+9.7 and the number of terms is 5.

[tex]12.3=\dfrac{x+12.8+12.6+11.8+9.7}{5}\\\\61.5=x+12.8+12.6+11.8+9.7\\\\61.5=x+46.9\\\\x=14.6[/tex]

So, the weight of the heaviest fish is 14.6.

I'd like to respondcertainly, Justice Scalia. I'd like to respond to the point about thethe District of Columbia's position over the years with respect to the functional firearms ban. The Petitioners have had two opportunities to urge courts to adopt this so-called self-defense exception which they construed in the amendment. The first opportunity came in 1978 in McIntosh versus Washington, where the petitioners urged the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia to uphold the law because it was irrational in their view to prohibit self-defense in the home with firearms. They deemed it to be too dangerous, and this was a legitimate policy choice of the City Council, and they actually prevailed in that view. The second opportunity that the Petitioners had to urge this sort of self-defense construction was actually in this case in the district court.
